Larsson registered an assist in Thursday's loss to the Capitals.Larsson gained momentum as a waiver-wire pickup in late February after picking up five assists in a five-game stretch, but he's predictably fallen off that pace. Through 11 March games, Larsson has provided a goal and three helpers -- serviceable production from the blue line, but nothing that warrants immediate action on the part of fantasy owners in most leagues.

Will this be the year that 2011’s fourth-overall pick makes the jump as shows the potential he’s long been rumored to have? Adam Larsson saw limited action with the Devils, playing a scattered 26 games and registering just a goal and an assist over that span. Larsson will turn 22 in November and should see more ice time this season with the departure of Mark Fayne and Anton Volchenkov. He will need to demonstrate consistency defensively to stay in the lineup, as coach Peter DeBoer has a short leash with young defenders. Larsson is worth a gamble in deep leagues and keeper leagues; just be sure to monitor his ice time. (Updated 8/13/14)
